Does anyone else get the impression that there seems to be more people everyday walking away from their old lives and into sailing (or traveling or homesteading or etc)?
I saw a video somewhere on TH-cam stating the earnings of top sailing "cruisers', aka La Vagabonde and s/v Delos, but also stating there are over 400 sailing channels now. Not sure how many of those are cruisers, but with $350,000 in annual revenue for both Delos and La Vagabonde - Obviously, people are copycatting the leaders.
The ill-fated Bums on a Boat was recently good for a few laughs in a Metro-sexual kind of way, but Kelsie and (what's his name???) seem to have tapped in to the proper formula and I see a nice future for this couple (if they don't go broke before going viral). Key to these channels - Smoking hot female and skillful sailing leading man.
This should be a lot of fun as we are getting to see this from the beginning. Riley often talks on La Vaga about the mistakes he made learning to sail and what it cost him, all prior to meeting Elayna. This time (more like Bums on a Boat) we will be able to see it unfold over the coming weeks. I'm already hooked. Good luck to the happy couple.
ekim andersom True, but kids, mortgage and bills usually mess up that formula.
Richard Ravarino Thank you for the insight!!! Yes, it is a great show so far!
Our thoughts on this are highly biased due to us living this lifestyle, so take them with a grain of salt. I think Millennials, in general, are strapped for cash due to overbearing student loan debt. Lack of resources breeds creativity which has lead to this "tiny-minimalist movement". Now outside of Millennials, I think anyone who had to endure the Great Recession realized how little material goods matter when shit hits the fan. Package all of that with technology and platforms for people to share their alternative lifestyles and boom you got yourself a movement. I think it's a beautiful thing seeing people live with less and in turn lead a happier, uncluttered life :) - Ryan
Wish you all the best!
My sincere and belated condolences on the passing of your Grandfather dude, 93 is a long live but still. Great you've got that clock and barometer as a momento to him 👍.
Thank you, Dutchguy. Definitely feels good to be carrying on his love for the sea.
You're my 8th sailing channel subscription. I applaud the transparency and example yet set on how to set a goal and achieve it. Once you get settled in a harbor chat up some sailors and see if you can have them come sailing with you. Great way to learn your boat and sailing. You'll find they work cheap - beer or rum is a reliable currency.
Best wishes and look forward to the next episode.
Appreciate the kind words and support. Thanks for subscribing and following along!
Thankyou Ryan and Kelsey. What a refreshing video packed with enthusiasm. Looking forward to sharing your adventure into the sailing life. Your Hallberg Rassy sure has some nice carpentry and storage, unlike my Jeanneau, though I wouldn't want your steering tube in my bed. I hope you film the first few times you begin sailing. We had a hilarious start, round and round in circles until we could barely stand for laughing. Keep smiling, take your time, and practise docking and leaving with adverse winds and currents as that's the hard part. Sail boats are just big toys to play with so keep you insurance up, your expectations down, let the weather rule and you will have a wonderful time.
Great insights and advice, Brian! We'll be sure to heed them! Thanks a bunch for following along and supporting us :)
You two are fantastic. So much enthusiasm. I can see many years of wonderful sailing ahead of you. Sailing is the easy bit. Letting go of the trappings of "Normal" life is the hard bit. But you two are already 3/4 of the way there. Happy Sailing.
Really appreciate the kind words and support. Love your channel as well :) Just finished watching the tour of your 70ft boat! Man that thing is big!! All the best to you both.
Great job cleaning below decks. That was a monumental chore.
hey guys really cool boat, just a note about sleeping over all the solvents, paints, batteries etc. in your aft cabin, make sure there's really good ventilation, especially on those warm humid nights down the keys. might be better to keep some of them in an outside locker or your cleaning products in the heads storage cubbies. I do that just because my aft cabin only has a wee vent and it's over the prop shaft and engine. Warm and cosy on the cold nights but again I'm installing a small computer fan to vent out the build up of diesel exhaust looming around the engine space. best of luck!
Good advice! Once we remove the holding tank in the head we'll move all the paints & solvents there. Can't be jeopardizing our health just for some old paint!
She's beautiful! And the boat is pretty nice too😉. Love the character of the boat.
Good Luck Guys!
Keep in mind, there is no need to rush when you are going sailing. Pace yourselves and be safe... Can't wait for the next video..
Fair Winds!
Have a safe trip across the lake. Watch the water level as when it is low you will find a lot of tree stumps and sunken logs. I am in the Charlotte Harbor area and will probably be sailing up your way this summer for a week or so. Safe travels.
Just found your videos yesterday. Very exciting time! We have a 1981 38' Ericson in Jacksonville. Before taking off for Tampa "Polish your fuel" Unless your tanks are empty, they most likely have all kinds of nasty stuff in the fuel. As soon as you hit any kind of waves, this gets roiled up and will clog fuel filters. Polishing is basically a filtering process to get rid of this nasty stuff.
Yes, I am speaking from experience!
Congrats on the new boat, look forward to more videos.
Welcome over from the dark side (power boating)! We made the decision to downsize and cut the lines about eight years ago, learned everything, went through a few sailboats and ended up with what we now own.
Lovely OI 41 you have! Thanks for following along :)
Congrats on your new boat. I am a power boat convert as well, I've been sailing since 2007. Everyone will have their own advice to give on how to learn how to sail, from taking only ASA classes, others will say you don't need that just figure it out. My advice is to go somewhere in the middle. I would recommend waiting for a calm day at the dock and hank on each of your sails, raise & rig them, including all of the Reefing rigging. Get familiar with how the running rigging is run, how it works, etc. It is a whole lot easier and safer to do all of this at the dock when there is no wind, then attempt it for the first time in wind, and a rolling sea. When you do attempt to sail, I would recommend making friends with several experienced sailors and taking them out for a day sail. Experienced sailors love going out on someone else's boat, where they are not responsible for every little thing!
Also the first time you guys try to sail by yourselves, I would recommend go small. The sails on a boat that size are fairly large and under wind will feel HUGE! So start out with a 100% jib or slightly smaller, and possibly a reefed main. Remember it is much easier for a bored Sailor to shake out a reef, than for a terrified one to try and reef the main.
Just remember that you may be saving money by learning how to sail yourself until you have an uncontrolled Jibe and break $500 worth of gear in one shot, or worse send someone to the hospital.
Good Luck, and keep the videos coming.
Super excited to follow yall's journey! My husband is prior Coast Guard and now a disabled veteran, so it's cool to see a Coastie on TH-cam! Fair winds and following seas!
Thank you to you and your husband for your service. Appreciate you both following along and supporting us!!
Two young and beautiful people following their dream. I like it!
Appreciate the kind words and support!! Thanks for following along and supporting the dream :)
A new adventure, a beautiful sailboat, and a pretty girl! What's not to like?
look forward to following your adventures, triumphs and setbacks alike. best of luck, it will ALL be positive as long as you are working on the same goals....
I look forward to a new adventure I can follow along.
Fantastic boat tour, we know both will be sailor's in no time. Enjoy and thank you so much for sharing.
Can't wait to see your journey !....please keep videos coming.... excited to see how you learn and grow....take us with you!
No sailing experience... then you have a wonderful experience to look forward to, when you raise sail and power off... the pull of the sails and the quiet, with only the luffing and slap of waves against the hull, is wonderful. I hope you enjoy it, both of you! Best wishes!
Condolences to hear about your father. Small World, I'm in South Jersey! Look forward to your future adventures!
Good on you for taking the plunge. That yacht will look after you if you look after her. Best wishes on the future.
Congratulation Guys, Your Swedish Lady is beautiful. Good Luck with your project of life. Far winds and following seas.
Looking forward to your next video. Good luck guys, with your new adventures !
Congrats on your beautiful boat and new life! I learned the value of a dollar at an early age, but somewhere along the way it became too much and turned into the a hunger for more stuff. It was as if the size of my house was the monument to my success. Over the years I have realized that the more you own doesn't mean you are happier. You have to take care of your things, worry about them, protect them, insure them, store them and eventually sell them. Now we are starting over. Selling the house, living in an RV, travelling when we can and preparing for the floating life. So I look forward to your experiences, as we share ours Vlogs... Happy Sailing Ryan and Kelsey!
Thanks for sharing and congrats on taking the leap!! Truly admirable. Wish you guys all the best on your RV adventure and thanks for following along!!
Congrats! You have sv/Abandon Comfort looking awesome. In no time you'll find you've found "comfort" anew!!
Congratulations guys!
Utterly beautifully architectectured boat
I can't wait to see where your adventures will take you!
I never saw anyone hold a marker like that to write.
Bestiverhad, I was thinking the same thing, would be interesting to know how that came about. Oh yea, the boat is cool too.
yes. I thought the same. maybe a trick for nice writing? with markers- mine is worse...
HAHA! Kelsey mentioned it after the fact that you all would get a kick out of how she holds a pen. And no it definitely doesn't equate to better handwriting (as you can see) ;) That's just how she learned to write!
If you learn how to sail the same way that's going to be a very entertaining video diary :) Good luck, hope you'll travel the world with an open mind and good winds.
Actually tried to mimic it, think I sprained something.
You totally scored on the boat find. Looking forward to the refit.
Oh it's coming!! We'll be showing our refit on the water then our final projects once she is back on the hard.
Awesome ! Thank you for sharing your adventure. Fair Winds !!!
Jamey Mathis Thank you for following along and supporting our adventure!
Wonderful video. Looking forward to many more!
So happy for you guys. What a great find at a great price. She's a beaut!
Live Life ,There's nothin like the Ocean! Fair winds!
Guys!! You are Amazing!!
I wish you happiness and Fair seas and following winds!!!
Happy times !!!
the unknown box looks to be a weather Fax
Beautiful boat.
good luck on your maiden voyage.
looking forward to sharing your experiences.
Great video guys! Keep them coming.
Looking awesome!
Great boat! Congrats!!!!!
That must be the weirdest, yet cutest way to hold a pen! Lol...god speed guys!
Awesome! So stoked to see your journey begin! All my support.....GRUNT
Working on a sailboat in Indiantown Marina, in the summer!!!! You haven't felt hot yet! It's steaming now, and it's only May!!! Get to crackin, kids!! This summer is gonna SUCK!!!!
The boat cleans up nicely! Very well done. The HF Fax machine does in fact print up your weather files. Great to have when cruising around the world. Both the SSB and fax look pretty old. I'd have them looked at. However it looks like the previous owner kept that boat in excellent condition, so you may be ok.
Keep the updates coming. Love what y'all are doing.
she's a real beauty...and the boat is pretty nice too!!
Beautiful vessel, congratulations are in order.
I really appreciate it the story about the barometer and the ship's chronograph ...the family touch and timing. Thanks for sharing.
s/v ...waves
I love this so much. im just starting out. can't wait to follow in your footsteps. keep it coming. love from the UK!
Very cool. Best wishes and thanks for sharing. Be safe.
looking forward to some epic adventures! loved the rawness of this video during the boat tour. Gordan's Fisherman. lmao
Amazing amount of stowage. What a cool boat you found. Perfect for having adventures. --Jim
Thanks for the tour of the boat guys. You may want to put on the list of projects, gluing thin strips of leather under the cabin sole(floorboards) to stop them from creaking when you walk on them.
Keep up the great videos. Enjoy the sailing world. You are in for such an adventure.
Nick Benfell Thanks for the support and kind words! Welcome to the AC crew 🙂
Beautiful sailboat guys! Congratulations!
What a great boat! I'm really liking your videos. Very real. Very honest. Keep it up.
Go for it.... looking forward to next vidwo
Great job guys
I really enjoy your openess and honesty. Brave undertaking to go for liveaboard with no sailing experience, but we all have to start somewhere.
I think I will enjoy seeing you two become sailors. It looks like a brave adventure for you both. Good job.
Really cool to be able to have your Grandpa's barometer and clock. Bet he was a cool guy. Makes for good feelings every time you have these kind of keepsakes.
great tour, love the boat, the supermodel, AND the video!
i think you 2 are perfect for each other -let the good times roll
well done guys, good luck
A great buy for sure. Go enjoy....
looking forward to seeing more
VERY, VERY PROUD OF YOU. GOD BLESS YOU!
Wow, Good Luck and don't forget your water wings.
Yall are going to enjoy it, sailing does take a little working knowledge but i'm sure you will pick it up. Don't get frustrated and remember to have fun. We'll see y'all in Bahamas
Remembering to have fun is key with boating! Thanks for following along - we'll see you out there next year :)
great walk through vid! thank you for sharing! you two worked hard! wtg 🤗🤠
Ya'll are fantastic! ...and I vote for more singing from Kelsey : )
Another great video.
Another great video. Keep it up.
Keep up the great work! Not only on the boat but also the great videos. I really like the candid, truthful nature of your videos. Keep having fun and stay safe! Needless to say, I have subscribed and look forward to your next update
Cheers!
Exciting! I'm from St. Pete. I will be following along. Good luck.
nice to see a fellow Coastie loving this lifestyle. I just got a sailboat with no sailing experience except for CG, with hopes of living on board. Fair winds and following seas to you guys.
Congratulations on your new boat and best wishes for your future adventures. She sure is a beautiful boat, you don't see that build quality much these days. Your coast guard experience will stand you in good stead but I would recommend some professional sailing tuition, be that a recognised course or taking on an experienced skipper for a week or so. It will give you the knowledge, experience and confidence to get the best out of your boat and make it a lot more enjoyable.
SL is such an excellent choice for you guys !! congrats !! Tx 4 sharing
Thanks for following along, Brian!!
Looks like he left you a good amount of useful stuff. Looking forward to see more of your videos.
Subscribed. I'm tickled to find this so early in the journey. Good luck to you!
Thank you! Stoked to have you along for the journey :)
great vid, keep them going,
Good video guys. Look forward to you two going east! I hear Bahamas calling. Fair winds. JC
What a great boat you have.
Oh and Palm Bay resort on Long Island was beautiful. We had Curlews walking among us in the restaurant.
You have got a classic, i'm sure a great first boat And Lord Huron is da schizzle!!!
Lord H is the man!! Thanks for the support :)
It's like, HR's show thier age, but thats it. They don't fall apart or whatever, hold up well even. They just show that they're used and loved. gotta be best made boats out there.
Great looking boat
What a great old boat. Gorgeous woodwork.
We really lucked out with her. Thanks for the support!
Good on ya, sweet boat.
Good deal. Keep an eye on the weather for your passage and you'll be fine. Fair winds and following seas.
4:14 that's a cool story, glad to hear you get to have that on the boat!
Well done for buying from Jim. He seems like a genuine bloke to buy from, I think you got lucky there. I'm from the UK myself so can relate to his mannerisms.
For all the people commenting about whether this is the right decision for you or not, just ignore them and do what you want. Everyone is different. You know when you are doing the right thing for you because it'll make you happy and you'll be motivated which you clearly are. And if\when it's time to do something different you'll know that as well
Look at it this way you don't hear many people look back in life and say "remember when we worked 9-5 for x corp, commuting 2 hrs a day just to pay our bills, it was so much fun". Yet the adventures you two will have will stay with you forever.
It's the relationships, adventures and experiences that you make in life that are important, not the numbers, positions or promotions. I arranged my fathers funeral last year and of all the pictures of his life that we put together to celebrate his life it was his relationships, interests and experiences that made his story. What he did for work was almost irrelevant.
Life is short, enjoy it.
You got a very good deal with all the stuff and clean boat, good luck for sailing.
Nice tour. You two got a great looking boat that's outfitted well.
Nice story on the clock and barometer. Those are nice pieces.
Fine video. Nice boat. Quality. Been to the yard in Sweden. Have fun and greetings from Germany.
this is a good sailing series. You guys seem more real than many of the others. looking forward to following your adventures. subbed!
Good Luck !! Should be fun
Wow, I like your video! As I read most of the comments there seems to be a lot concern about your experience, let me say it will come with time, so just take your time learning, don't jump into weather that looks dangerous, sailing is best done with a captain with a good weather eye. The most important thing is to just have FUN, the boat came with all the gear you need. An important thing to do would be to find the storm sails and understand how to set and use them!
Well Done!
I wanna cross the ocean with her, the most nice boat tour I have seen.
I love that you two are brave!! When you get some experience you'll have to come to Lunenburg, Nova Scotia!!! Great sailing and great wine!! Ha Ha! Love the video and keep them coming. We need more!
